"reset to default" is *surely* not the right behavior; resetting to the
setting that had been in effect might be a bit sane.  But the whole
design sounds pretty broken to start with.  The timer management code
already understands the concept of scheduling the interrupt for the
nearest of a couple of potentially active timeouts.  ISTM any patch
intended to add a feature like this ought to extend that logic rather
than hack around changing the values of global variables.
